HISTORICAL SKETCH 



The object of this Athletic League is to raise a higher standard 
of conduct in athletic sports, to unify the physical work of the 
Associations, and to emphasize the regular legitimate class work 
In the by-laws will be seen a plan for allowing specialization and 
records in athletics. The aim of these is to throw emphasis 
upon the regular class work of the Associations, as men may 
not be allowed in these competitions until they have spent the 
equivalent of a year's solid practice in regular gymnasium class 
work. On this plan it is believed that they will be far more 
faithful in their regular work, and will attain the all-round de- 
delopment of their bodies more quickly than they otherwise 
would ; and after they have secured this all-round training they 
will be in condition to specialize in some branch of athletics with 
advantage to themselves, thus gaining for the Association an 
increased esprit de corps through the maintenance of an athletic 
team. At the Physical Directors' Conference, held May, 1898. 
it was suggested that the "general" registration scheme be op- 
tional, and the "games" registration be the only one required 
(Sec. 10, Paragraph 6). The Governing Committee adopted this 
suggestion. 

_ Particular attention is called to the close and friendly rela- 
tions between this organization and the Amateur Athletic Unions 
of the United States and Canada and the Canadian Association 
Athletic League, as outlined on page 137. In the athletic rules, 
those of the A. A. U. have been followed as closely as possible, 
even to the wording. 

_ In the General Secretaries' Conference held at Orange, N. J., 
in 1889, there was extended discussion regarding the advantages 
of the formation of an Athletic League among the Associations. 
^Pp". vote a committee was appointed to consider the matter, 
and, if It seemed wise, to proceed at once with the organization 
of such a league. The committee consisted of Messrs. James 
McConaughy, George W. Ehler and George A. Sanford The 
committee met, but it became evident very soon that the action 
contemplated was beyond the functions of the Secretaries' Con- 
ference and belonged to the International Convention and the 
International Committee, inasmuch as it was of an executive 
nature. Accordingly the matter was referred with a full re- 
port to the International Committee, who considered it favorably, 
but decided that the time was not then ripe for such a movement,

THE ORGANIZATION OF AN ATHLETIC 

CLUB 



George J. Fisher, M. D., 
Secretary of Governing Committee. 

Athletics are intensely social. Community interest in ath- 
letic sports has brought many social organizations into exist- 
ence. Most sports can not be participated in by one individual, 
but require a group of men to make play possible. Competition 
requires numbers. The joy that comes from competition is 
brought about by its relation to others — winning from other 
men, the honor of representing the school,- the applause of spec- 
tators, the commendation of friends. These contribute interest 
and enthusiasm. 1 hen, too, the athlete seldom competes un- 
attached. He usually represents some club, school or institution. 
Most of the races he engages in are not indulged in primarily 
because of personal interests but for the honor of his college or 
association. When atnletic work becomes individualistic, it be- 
comes sordid and selfish and the real spirit and meaning is 
taken out of it. 

This being true, the conduct of athletics should be largely 
social. Properly organized, athletics may be made to contribute 
vitally to the social spirit of the association. The conduct of 
all the sports should be made co-operative. Athletics provide 
an opportunity to put many to work, which always creates in- 
terest on the part of those so used. Close contests, a reasonable 
number of victories, and gentlemanly conduct in competition 
inject esprit and enthusiasm into the membership. 

The social side of athletics must ever be kept uppermost. 
There is frequently a tendency, to limit competition to a few, 
whereas it should offer opportunity for the many to enjoy the 
privileges of participation. While it is wise to have a track 
team composed of athletes who by superior work have won 
distinction, participation should not be limited to these. The 
athletic policy should make provision for events in which the 
novice and the mediocre athlete can find a place. 

Some associations have a budget for the athletic work and 
send athletic teams, whom they elect, to various "meets" and 
pay all expenses, mcluding entrance fees, uniforms and traveling

expenses. Some even go so far as to give "star" athletes special 
privileges, such as a membership in the association, and thus 
make them a select and favored class. Such a plan i's expensive 
and, to say the least, unfair to the rest of the members, and is 
attended by vicious results. 

There is another dangerous tendency in athletics and that is 
the danger of dissipation. Play is a restive steed. The tendency 
is to excess. The desire to win perverts the true spirit of vic- 
tory. Athletics become an end in themselves, rather than a 
means to an end. Unfair means and conduct are frequently re- 
sorted to in order to acquire the desired end, viz., victory. 

In this article attention has been called to three dangerous 
"tendencies — first, the tendency toward individualism ; second, the 
tendency toward favoritism ; third, the tendency toward excess 
and unfair conduct. 

A form of organization is therefore necessary in the conduct 
of athletics which will provide for a co-operative policy, which 
will be conducted by the members, for the members and will be 
composed of the members and by which clean sport principles 
will be enunciated and upheld and a healthy, uplifting spirit 
dominate all athletic affairs. 

In my judgment, the best way to bring this about, is by the 
organization of an athletic club composed of the members of the 
association of all those who are in any way interested in athletic 
exercise or out of door sports. 

Such an organization should have the usual officers. A strong 
man whose ethics in sport are known to be pure and who has 
executive ability should be rniiade president, for much will depend 
upon him for the success of the organization. There should also 
be the usual vice-president, secretary and treasurer. These with 
thres others should constitute the Board of Directors. The con- 
stitution should also provide permanent positions on the Board 
of Directors for both the chairman of the physical department 
committee and the physical director. This will relate the club 
officially to the association and provide a means of proper 
supervision. 

The limitation of such an organization should be defined to the 
members and yet a reasonable amount of independence and 
authority permitted. 

The great value of such a movement is that it unites the 
various branches of sport. Instead of having a base ball team, a 
basket ball team, track and other teams, each with its own 
treasury interested only in its own struggle with its own par- 
ticular following, and with no relation to the other teams of the 
association, there is but one treasury. AH branches of athletics 



GEORGE J. FISHER. M. D. 
Secretary Governing Committee 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. I5 

are under the administration of the athletic cUib. The receipts 
from all teams go into the same treasury, the deficits when there 
are any are paid out of the same treasury. For illustration, the 
basket ball team nets $ioo during the season above all expenses. 
Instead of holding this as a separate fund, it is paid into the 
Athletic Club Treasury. The base ball team comes out $50 short 
at the end of the season. This deficit is paid from the clul) 
treasury. Under the independent policy perhaps it would be im- 
possible to conduct a base ball team, but by having a financially 
successful basket ball team it is able to have a base ball team. 
Thus it is the strong helping the weak. Thus the members of 
the base ball team are not only interested in base ball, but are 
interested in the success of the basket ball team and vice versa. 
Each is benefited by the success of the other, hence mutual 
co-operation. 

Another advantage of an athletic club is that it provides a 
forum for discussing the athletic policy of the association, for 
co-operation in athletic affairs. Here clean sport principles are 
enunciated, errors are rectified, right methods and right conduct 
insisted upon. 

Sections are organized in the various branches of sport over 
which the club desires jurisdiction. Thus there may be sections 
in base ball, foot ball, basket ball, tennis, ice hockey, gymnastics, 
track and field sports. Each section is represented by a com- 
mittee which plans the policy of the sections subject to the 
approval of the athletic club. 

The club meetings are held monthly, and the chairmen of the 
sections make monthly reports. 

A slight fee should be charged for membership in the club and 
participation in athletics limited to paid up members. All bills 
must be endorsed by the president and paid by check counter- 
signed by him. 

The entire athletic program should be planned at the club 
meetings. Thus responsibility for carrying out the program is 
not limited to the physical director, but is placed upon the club 
membership. 

What can be done by such a club ? Put many to work. Divide 
responsibility. Make athletics self sustaining. Conduct indoor 
and outdoor athletic meets, cross country runs, novice events, 
group games. Representative teams can be managed and financed, 
including such sports as base ball, basket ball, fort bail, ice 
hockey, la cross, tennis, gymnastics, bowling, etc.. etc. Colors 
are selected, yells adopted, emblems chosen, rooter'' club or- 
ganized. The monthly meeting may be made a special social 
event occasionally. Men prominent in athletic affairs may be

SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. I7 

invited to address the members on "clean sport" or "how to 
train," "the relation of athletics to character," or kindred sub- 
jects. An annual banquet can well be made a part of the 
program at which the ideals to be sought for in athletics can be 
presented by men well able to make such presentation. 

What are some of the dangers of such an organization? The 
unruly element may be in the majority, the purpose for which 
the club was organized may be diverted. The members, unless 
rightly educated, may exceed their authority and their natural 
limitations. 

Thoroughly organized, however, with strict adherence to the 
principles upon which such an organization is founded, the local 
athletic club wiH contribute much in making possible a progres- 
sive athletic policy, in securing the co-operatitjn of many mem- 
bers, in creating a deliglitful social spirit and in securing bodily 
vigor and power to those who enjoy its privileges.

A CLEAN SPORT CAMPAIGN 

How to Organize and Maintain It. Its Value to the Community, 
to the Individual and to the Association. 



C. R. H. Jackson 
Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Scranton, Pa. 

That there is a real need for the inauguration and maintenance 
of a campaign to rid aiMetic sports of vicious practices may be 
seen by any one who makes a calm, dispassionate study of the 
conditions that now obtain in the conduct of competitive athletics. 

The tactics commonly used by individuals and teams under the 
guise of amateurs, to secure victory and reward are a menace to 
clean sports. 

The professional, whose sole business it is to win, has no place 
in this article, further than to state that he selfishly sacrifices 
true sportsmanship to self-seeking, and that too often he is merely 
a tool in the hands of gamblers, to be used in duping the public* 

The practice of running men under false names, oi pre-arrang- 
ing matches and contests, of scales tampered witli, of fake exhibi- 
tions, all go to show that the disgraceful afi^airs, one of which 
was so honestly reported in the Scranton Tribune of June 25, 
igo4, are far too common. 

The article entitled "The Race-Track Trust," published in the 
May (1905) number of Success, shows the extent to which jus- 
tice, honor and mercy are sacrificed to the gambler's greed, and 
it is the contamination of amateur athletics by this banefuJ influ- 
ence that concerns us. 

The difference between the professional, who is working at 
athletics for a living, and the amateur who is playing in athletics 
a6 a recreation is often obscure. 

The definition of many persons for the terms professional an3 
amateur would be — the professional is an expert in, some epc 
cial athletic event, and an amateur is one who is less expert. 

The true distinction is that the former places victory first 
because of the money involved, and the latter practices athletic 
sports fc" the recreation and healthy vigor they afford. 

The Y.M.C.A. Athletic League, recognizing the value of clean 
athletics in the best development of men, and knowing of the 
many temptations offered by unscrupulous persons to use unclean 
methods in contests, has launched a campaign for true sports

conducted between gentlemen for the glory of a victory, or the 
honor of a defeat, upon a fair field without favor. 

ORGANIZATION. 

Since "everybody's business is nobody's business," and because 
the success of every great reform has depended upon a few per- 
sons who were thoroughly convinced of the vital need of refor- 
mation, this campaign will never succeed unless there is a strong 
organization to conduct it. 

First — Some one man must voluntarily assume this new work 
in each community, then he must convince and enlist the interest 
and services of a few other clean hearted, clear headed, influen- 
tial men. These men should organize an athletic organization 
and at once become members of the proper governing amateur 
athletic body. 

The Young Men's Christian Associations should join the Ath- 
letic League and the athletic clubs and regiments the Amateur 
Athletic Union. The organization being effected and under 
proper supervision and assisted by the governing body, the next 
step is to promote an open amateur athletic meet. 

Possibly the best introduction' of a Clean Sport Campaign will 
be for an influential daily paper to conduct a large meet. From 
a business standpoint this is good business for the paper. 

Such a field day may be conducted by a paper for $250 or less, 
cash expenditure, and an additional expense of $150 in printing, 
all of which will be done in their own establishment. In re- 
turn for this, the paper secures from three to six weeks of valu- 
able advertising and the assistance of the members of the com- 
mittee gratis. 

By the publication of daily articles on training, and a daily 
training schedule for each event, the paper is made interesting 
and valuable to most young men — and this will not be confined to 
one vicinity, but to many communities; this means an increased 
circulation. During this time it will be the most talked of and 
sought for paper in the community, and the advertising culmi- 
nates in a mammoth attraction on the day of the meet, at which 
time and for many months afterward the paper will be men- 
tioned in connection with the sports. 

If advertising pays regular subscribers at regular rates, surely 
thi^ vast amount of advertising is cheap at $.300. In addition to 
this, the paper has been true to its noblest ololigation to its con- 
stituents in leading the campaign for cleansing and elevating 
manly sports, and in the training of manly men. 

I. Then, the co-operation of a few influential men who can be 
depended upon to help, must be secured.

2. Membership in th^e Athletic League or Amateur Athletic 
Union obtained. 

3. An influential institution secured to conduct a meet on a 
large scale. 

4. Every available means used to enlist the public in the cause 
of clean sport. 

• (a) By newspaper articles and endorsements of clean sport 
written by prominent athletes of national and international repu- 
tation. Letters from such men as George T. Hepbron, Dr. G. J. 
Fisher, Dr. W. G. Anderson, Dr. D. A. Sargent, Jame« E. Sulli- 
van, and Qther^ men well known to athletes, will be read with 
interest, and will convince those who read them of the value of 
■clean athletics in the training of men. 

(b) By the personal work of the members oi the committee 
with individuals. 

5.. _ These printed articles will convince the local athletes of 
th€ importance of being loyal to clean sport standards; and will 
re-sult in enlisting a large number of manly fellows in the ranks 
of registered amateurs. 

6. Only competent officials should be placed in charge of an 
athletic meet and even those men should be carefully coached 
previously. 

The referee should be an expert — who can start, conduct and 
close the meet in the promptest and most businesslike manner. 
Comparatively few persons have ever witnessed a first-class ath- 
letic meet conducted on a large scale — and a meet of this descrip- 
tion wilJ pave the way for future successful meets, and prove that 
Amateur Athletics are suoerior to professional contests in the 
events o'f the track and field, as well as in decency and fairness, 

HOW TO MAINTAIN CLEAN SPORTS. 

It is easier to organize and launch a campaign as outlined 
above, than it is to maintain the campaign with unabated energy 
and enthusiasm year after year, but the results justify the work 
required. 

The commonest cause of athletes becoming professionals is be- 
cause they are not given the opportunity to compete in amateur 
games often enough. 

Men and boys must be kept busy in the pastime that attracts 
them.; otherwise they will enter less desirable pastimes. As stated 
above, at the very beginning of the campaign an athletic organi- 
zation should be formed. Each Association should organize an 
athletic association. . non-members of the Association should be 
organized under the Amateur Athletic Union, regular meetinp-^^ 
should be held ; frequent meets, preferably open meets, with 




HENRY M. ORNE 
Member Governing Committee 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 2^ 

some handicap events should be conducted. Outdoors in sum- 
mer, indoors in winter. 

Spring and fall cross-country races should be conducted, also 
aquatic and other contests. Every branch of sport should be 
encouraged and conducted, always upon a strictly amateur basis. 

The men should be notified as soon as their term of registra- 
tion lapses and re-registration secured. 

Occasional socials during the dull season should be held and 
some good man who is prominent in amateur athletic circles 
invited as the guest of the evening. 

The surest means of keeping men loyal to amateur standards 
is to keep am^ateur athletics alive and vigorous by having fre- 
quent contests held by various organizations, each being so care- 
fully conducted that dissatisfaction and protests will seldom 
occur ; for carelessness always begets trouble. 

The work of maintaining this campaign will usually fall upon 
the few, frequently upon one — but all of the time, energy and 
money so spent is justifiable by the practical results gained. 

THE VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY. 

From a business viewpoint — the city is benefited by the adver- 
tisement given it as a center for high-class, athletic sports. 

These contests attract the attention and bring as visitors to the 
city the most desirable class of young men, men with rich red 
blood in their arteries, with courage and ambition to excel in. 
every walk of life animating them. 

One proof of the importance placed upon athletic sports by 
young men is shown by the prominence given this work in the 
printed matter of nearly every private educational institution and 
most of the public preparatory schools, colleges and universities. 
In fact the very popularity of these sports is the cause of the 
mistakes and excesses ; which this clean sport campaign aims to 
correct. 

From a character-building viewpoint, the value to the com- 
munity of such a campaign can only be measured by the men and 
boys who are made more honest, cleaner morally, franker, more 
courageous, more eager to excel, more determined, more self- 
controlled, and self-reliant. This makes for a safe community 
to live in, because it makes for honest merchants to deal with» 
for careful, conscientious, professional men to call upon and for 
true friends and reliable neighbors. 

THE VALUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL 
lies in the fact that virtue, like vice, becomes the habit of life, 
when practiced enough. 




GEO. W. EHLER 
Member Governing' Committee 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 7.^ 

The environmental influence of wisely conducted, clean ath- 
letics will beget habits of honor, of sincerity, of honest effort. 

To win a victory for one's self is good. To win a victory over 
one's self is better. To win for our association, city, college or 
country is grand. 

To forego a victory, sooner than take an unfair advantage 
over an opponent requires as noble a manhood as all the others 
combined. 

The most valuable thing a man can have is character, and in 
the practice of clean sports the man develops all of the manly 
attributes, glorious strength and skill and endurance. The cour- 
age that is indifferent to personal discomfort and pain. 

The determination that never "quits" in athletic contests or in 
the battle of life. The self-control that keeps him calm when 
others are excited and alarmed. The self-reliance that gives him 
confidence in times of danger. 

He has added to strength of body and mental poise a love of 
fair play for all, and a scorn of deceit, and he is a man. 

We inherit our love for manly sports from our forebears, and 
we have also inherited a love and respect for honor and truth 
and fair play. 

Men have always loved the pastimes demanding manly cou- 
age, prowess and skill, and still love them. 

Physical excellence attracts as much notice and is as loudly 
applauded now as in the days when only the strong survived. 

Participation in and control of amateur athletics increases a 
man's earning value ; the traits of body and mind thus developed 
enable him to render better service to his employer, and marks 
him for promotion. 

The influence of the field of sport and its champions upon the 
lives of the boys, makes lasting impressions. 

Physical power always receives due recognition from the nor- 
mal boy. He is true to his convictions, his heroes are heroes 
indeed. The traits of his ideal man are all carefully noted and 
copied ; if his hero is manly, brave, kind, true, intelligent, the boy 
faithfully strives to pattern his conduct and life after them. If 
his ideal is coarse, brutal, dishonest and ignorant, the boy still 
patterns after his hero, and he copies him, defects and all, with 
all the vices exaggerated. 

If athletics did nothing more than give to the boys worthy, 
clean-cut. manly ideals, it would do a noble work, and the value 
to the individual man and boy would be immeasurably great. 

VALUE TO THE ASSOCIATION. 
The objection to the conduct of Association athle'.ics h::.s bcvi) 




HAROLD HAMNETT

made that "the proportionately small number of men who use 
the physical department who will participate in competitive ath- 
letic sports does not justify the conduct of such contests" is 
hardly a fair one. Any physical department having in its mem- 
bership from several hundreds to as many thousands will be 
divided into numerous classes and groups. Classes for men and 
boys of different ages, conditions and occupations, fencing, 
wrestling, boxing and other clubs are organized, all require 
careful planning and supervision and much work to carry suc- 
cessfully through the season. And yet not one of these sections 
will prove so valuable an advertising medium for the Association 
as will the organization and maintenance of a clean sport cam- 
paign. 

The Association will soon be recognized by the entire com- 
munity as the leader in clean, manly sports, with its standard 
for clean sport only and always. 

Men and boys are attracted to the Association, and the accusa- 
tion that the "Association is an exclusive club" is refuted by the 
boys and men themselves. 

The physical director frequently being the only accessible per- 
son competent to coach athletes in a city, naturally men wishing 
scientific instruction and advice will join the Association to se- 
cure his aid ; this means greater influence and increased mem- 
bership. 

The organization whose mission is boldly proclaimed to be the 
best development and largest life of each man — physically, men- 
tally and spiritually, irrespective of creed or caste — will be ex- 
pected by practical men to do something to correct the influences 
that are injuring men. 

The work of the Association is made possible by the financial 
support and influence of public-spirited men. The continued loy- 
alty of these men to this institution will be in proportion to the 
practical work the Association is doing in living up to its avowed 
mission. 

The Association's mission and responsibility do not end with 
its membership, but extend to every man and boy in the com- 
munity. 

In its effort to serve, it must recognize neither class or creed — 
but men only. 

The value to the Association consists in — 

1. Bringing its advantages to the attention of men and boys, 
who otherwise would not have known of them. 

2. In having an active part in controlling athletic sports and 
in increased influence. 

3. In increased membership.

4. In demonstrating to those who financially support the Asso- 
ciation that it is doing practical work in developing clean men, 
thus deserving and obtaining more loyal support. 

5. In keeping the Association in touch with men and boys 
through their sports, and by holding them together in organized 
teams and clubs. 

6. In the increased usefulness of the Association to the people, 
and by its larger part in the city's life, for this campaign includes 
every phase of clean sport, including school boy leagues. Sunday 
school leagues, shop, factory and store leagues, and other teams 
and leagues in every branch of legitimate sport to be conducted 
always in a fair-play, gentlemanly manner, under amateur regu- 
lations. 

I plead for the hearty support of this campaign from every 
physical director. That it requires hard work, much time and 
careful thought is true ; but it is the essence of the Association 
work; and it is better than sitting down at home and criticising 
or bemoaning the shameful methods in vogue. 

No one recognizes more fully the importance of the work of 
the gymnasium or the difficult problems offered by athletics, than 
I, but it is contrary to Association principles to hold ourselves 
aloof from this important department of physical training, and 
see athletics shorn of much of their value by being given over to 
professional standards for athletic conduct. 

The organization and maintenance of this campaign is not too 
difficult a task for any level-headed, determined physical direc- 
tor to undertake, if he is willing to work for the best develop- 
ment of the boys and men of his city. 

That the value to the community, to the individual, and to the 
Association will more than compensate for the time, trouble and 
money invested, will, I believe, be admitted by any one who suc- 
cessfully conducts such a campaign. 

The clean sport campaign is a war now being waged against 
dirty trickery and unmanly behavior in athletic sports which 
should and can be conducted solely for the strength and skill of 
body, self-control and cool judgment of mind, and for the traits 
of character that make for "clean, vigorous manhood in the live": 
of those who participate in clean amateur athletic sports, and 
whose influence permeates thousands of homes, schools, social 
and business circles in this land of ours. 

Let "Clean Athletics for the Athletes" be our motto : not 
"Athletes for Athletics."

THE VALUE OF ORGANIZATION IN 
ATHLETICS 



By L. O. GiLLESBY, 

Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Evanston, 111. 

There is surely no need of an argument for union in the accom- 
plishment of a purpose, for nearly every great object has been 
made a success by united effort. This union is undoubtedly as 
much needed in athletics as in any other great doing. To all 
observers of physical culture, the marvelous growth of competi- 
tive sports and the tremendous interest taken in them by the par- 
ticipant and the public is something to be wondered at. This 
could never have been possible had it not been for the unselfish 
men who have guided our national sport-governing institutions. 

These bodies have fostered and kept within useful channels 
great agencies which make our American man more manly, make 
him mere chivalrous, more considerate of others and more a 
master of himself. The Amateur Athletic Union states two of 
its objects as being the encouragement of systematic physical 
exercise and education and the promotion of athletic sports 
among amateurs. The Athletic League of North America looks 
to the maintenance of a high standard of Christian morality, hon- 
esty, courtesy and manliness in athletic sport. Both organiza- 
tions agree in trying to further a strict amateur basis. These 
and the other national organizations are working out the prob- 
lems of sport year by year, and while not always reaching to the 
ideals they have set for themselves, they yet deserve the hearty 
co-operation of every sport-loving man in this country. These 
organizations are practically one in their aim. They are united 
in their purpose. The hardest years of work are already past, 
for effort with small returns is not inspiring, but already has 
come the time when great returns follow the doing of good 
things. Leadership and example have been furnished us along 
desirable lines. Information has been widely given, but the 
knowledge and correct estimate of these bodies and their work is 
not yet as wide as it should be. There rests upon the physical 
directors, the gymnasium committees and the leaders' corps the 
duty to spread this information. We should make it one of our

chief aims to inform young men of the purposes and work of 
these bodies. 

Sport seems to have a continual tendency to be invaded by 
the professional idea, and in order to keep it safe the strictest 
rulings are necessary to hedge in man's tendencies. The govern- 
ing bodies are a unit in their definition of the amateur. They 
are trying to protect the man who for wealth and enjoyment 
enters sport, using as a stimulus for keeping at it the opportunity 
to show that physically and mentally he is better than the other 
fellow. Years of experience in dealing with the man greedy for 
gain has brought about rulings which should be lived up to by 
all. Many young men get in the wrong class because they do not 
know these rulings. We should see that they get informed. Not 
one of the rulings is narrow. All are broad gauge and liberal. 
We should post in a conspicuous place around our gymnasia the 
gist of them. 

Don't compete for money. 

Don't compete under a false name. 

Don't compete against a professional. 

Don't teach sport for money. 

Don't sell a prize. 

Don't receive pay for acting as an official in any contest. 

In order to place sport within reach of the governing bodies 
the sanctioning of games and registration of individuals has 
been instituted. These are valuable to all parties. It first of all 
keeps in a central organization the knowledge of all sport con- 
ducted throughout the country. It puts the promoter of contests 
in touch with the national organization. It is the only way in 
which government may be maintained. The cost is exceedingly 
small and pays part of the expense of control. It would be im- 
possible to pay for the time spent gratis by the leaders of these 
organizations. 

Without organization and government it would be impossible 
to eliminate professionalism from athletics and the amateur and 
professional cannot be handled together. The actuating spirit of 
the two is widely separated. The amateur contends for the 
pleasure of using and gaining skill, the pleasure of prominence 
and of getting the better of the other fellow. The professional 
is looking for gain first, last and all the time. He may enjoy 
it, but the money in it tends to make him want to win at all 
costs, and crookedness frequently creeps in. Our professional 
base ball leagues have had a wide experience in this tendency 
and those in national control have the matter well in hand, but 
in the minor leagues there is frequent evidence of questionable 
practices which place the game in danger with the public. Dirty

THE ASSOCIATION AS AN ATHLETIC 
CENTRE 



By A. G. DouTHiTT, 
Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Seattle, Wash. 

While the physical department of the Young Men's Christian 
Association is not primarily designed for competitive athletics, 
we should recognize the benefits derived from such sports and 
not only be in a position to encourage them, but at all times take 
;he initiative in promoting clean, competitive athletic sports. No 
Dther organization is in a position to render such service as is the 
'Association. The Association should be the natural center of all 
;he athletic interests of the city. This is especially true in the 
^maller cities, where no other athletic organization exists. Boys' 
:lubs, grammar schools, high schools and colleges not having 
physical directors or coaches naturally look to the Association for 
rainers and officials, and in some instances the entire conduct 
Df their athletics could well be intrusted to the Association. 

In order that the Association be able to fulfill its obligation to 
:hese institutions, it is absolutely necessary that we adhere only 
:o clean sport methods. No Association can afford not to be 
1 member of the Athletic League and uphold its rules. No matter 
low small the Association, or how little they may be able to take 
Dart in competitive athletics, they should show their interest in 
:lean sport by a membership in the League and a lively interest 
in its affairs. 

The spirit of the League as given in Section i of the By-Laws 
should dominate all of our a' .detic relations, whether with Asso- 
ciations, athletic clubs, or other institutions and nothing short 
Df their fulfillment should be considered worthy of the organiza- 
:ion we represent. 

Our athletic relations with other associations must not be 
strained. Competition among Associations should be of the most 
friendly nature, and visiting teams should receive every courtesy 
due to gentlemen. The home Association should be responsible 
for conduct of spectators, and every effort should be made to 
establish gentlemanly conduct on their part. The physical 
directors should not officiate in games where their own teams

are represented, unless it be impossible to secure competent men 
outside. 

The larger and stronger Associations are in a position to 
assist and encourage competition with their smaller and weaker 
brethren by giving handicap meets, limiting the size of the team 
or playing second teams against firsts, when evenly matched, 
especially in basket ball, base ball and other team games. The 
tendency of the central Association to absorb the best athletes 
of the various branches by offering special inducements should 
be discouraged. "In union there is strength," but in monopoly 
there is dissolution. The continual winning of one organization 
3ver all the rest tends to spoil the interest in athletics, and to 
kill- the game. Spectators do not care to see an exhibition per- 
formance by one club not do athletes enjoy going into a "sure 
thing" meet. It is better, therefore, that each Association be 
allowed to use the athletes that rightly belong to it and that they 
be not given to covetousness. Whenever a strained condition 
exists between two Associations competition between them had 
better cease until such time as a genuine spirit of fellowship is 
established. 

The Association's relationship to the athletic club is not tliat 
Df an antagonist, but rather that of a wholesome competitor. 
There is no reason why the Association should not compete 
against athletic clubs, provided, of course, that the athletic club 
is willing to adhere to clean sport methods. 

While it is true that the athletic club is able to offer better 
inducements to athletes than the Association when the rules of 
the A. A. U. are in effect the Association is in a position to 
hold its own in competition against clubs. The Association is 
not in a position to put the athletic club out of business, nor 
should it try to. The athletic club occupies a field and meets the 
needs of some men that the Association is not in a position to 
reach, and we should recognize this fact and seek to lend them 
a helping hand whenever we find the opportunity. 

Our relations to the colleges and universities of the country 
are varied and our opportunities great. Where an Association 
is located in a college town, it often affords an opportunity for 
:ollege men to get a great part of their training in the Associa- 
tion gymnasium, when their own facilities are inadequate. 

Friendly competition is helpful to both institutions and should 
DC encouraged, especially in localities where both Associations 
md colleges are scarce. The Association will be able to send 
a number of its men to some of these institutions of higher 
learning and we should rejoice to see our men win college honors. 

In high school athletics the Association athlete should and

does predominate. There should be no school meet in which the 
majority of point winners are not Association men We are not 
doing our duty by the high school boys where these conditions 
do not exist, except m places where the schools have all the 
necessary equipment and instruction. Special classes should be 
conducted for high school boys and care be taken to give them 
all-around training. Those who show athletic ability should be 
coached and encouraged so as to bring the best possible results 
both to the school and the individual. In the smaller cities the 
Association is m a position to look after the coaching of the 
foot ball, basket ball, base ball and track athletics, as well as the 
regular systematic gymnasium work. 

But the Association's great responsibility in athletics is its 
relation to the individual. No Associations can afford to make 
an athlete at the expense of character. Character through ath- 
letics should be our watchword. In order to develop charac- 
ter through athletics it is absolutely necessary that we adhere to 
our first principles of clean sport. No man can be benefited 
morally by athletics if the physical directors are crooked, avari- 
cious, or show a tendency to win at all costs. Once get the con- 
ditions right at the head and we are in a position to teach the 
athlete that the physical benefits are of more value than the 
nonors ; that to have gained control of one's temper is of more 
value than to have won a prize; that to clean up in his manner 
of living IS vastly more important than the applause of thousand^ 
and that the minute he becomes a "pot hunter" he becomes a 
parasite on athletic society, and that athletics would be a great 
deal better off without him. 

, Our opportunity among the younger athletes along this jine 
IS especially great and we should ever be ready and willing to 
Associatfoif ^^'^ individual, even at the apparent loss to the 

No physical director should hesitate to disqualify one of his 
Dwn men for willfully violating the rules, and under no condition 
Should an Association offer free membership, soft jobs or meal 
:ickets to good athletes in order to secure or retain them

the physical work of the Association lasting for fourteen vearT 
Ihe ast seven years have been spent in the service of the

BY-LAWS 



Section i. Spirit of the League. 

The League endeavors to foster clean sport between gentlemen, 
The following statements express the spirit to be sought and 
maintained in such sport. It is the privilege and duty of every 
committee and person connected with th^ League to emlDody these 
principles in his own actions and to earnestly advocate them 
before others : 

(i) The rules of games are to be regarded as mutual agree- 
ments, the spirit or letter of which one should no sooner try 
to evade or break than one would any other agreement between 
gentlemen. The stealing of advantage in sport is to be regarded 
in the same way as stealing of any other kind. 

(2) Visitmg teams are the honored guests of the home team, 
and all their mutual relationships are to be governed by the 
spirit which is understood to guide in such relationships. 

(3) No action is to be done nor course of conduct pursued 
which would seem' ungentlemanly or dishonorable if known to 
one's opponents or the public. 

(4) No advantages are to be sought over others except those 
in which the game is understood to show superiority. 

(5) Advantage should not be taken of the laxity of officials in 
interpreting and enforcing rules. 

(6) Officers ind opponents are to be regarded and treated 
as honest in intention. When opponents are evidently not gen- 
tlemen, and officers manifestly dishonest or incompetent, future 
relationships with them may be avoided. 

(7) Decisions of officials are to be abided by, even when they 
seem unfair, 

(8) Ungentlemanly or unfair means are not to be used even 
when they are used by opponents. 

(9) Good points in others should be appreciated and suitable 
recognition given.

SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 85 

(e) Associations not members of the League may secure yearly 
sanctions under the following conditions : 

(i) Issued to cover the Basket Ball season, October i to 
June 30. 

(2) To members of the Y. M. C. A. Athletic League sanctions 
are granted without charge; to other associations a fee of $2.00 
will be charged. If issued after March i the charge will be $1.00. 

(3) This sanction is void if individuals on team receiving same 
are not registered, or if the game played is not sanctioned or in- 
dividuals registered either in the Y. M. C. A. Athletic League or 
A. A. U. 

(4) Rules governing games are to be found in the current Offi- 
cial Basket Ball Guide and Y. M. C. A. Athletic League Hand 
Book. 

(5) The recipient of this sanction is requested to mail, not 
later than the following day, a postal card (do not send a letter) 
stating, 

(a) The name of both teams. 

(b) Where the game was played. 

(c) The date played. 

(6) In announcing games state "held under sanction of Y. M. 
C. A. Athletic League." 

(7) The granting of future sanctions will depend upon the ad- 
herence to the above conditions. 

Note. — When meets are being planned in cities where organi- 
zations other than Associations may hold such meets, some agree- 
ment should be entered into with the officials of the Amateur 
Athletic Union regarding the selection of dates. 

Note. — In applying for sanctions conflicting dates with other 
organizations should be avoided, because two or more meets on 
the same date in the same territory usually results in diminished 
interest and financial loss to one or both. 

Note. — The League, by its affiliation with the Amateur Ath- 
letic Union, may hold open meets under its own sanction without 
jeopardizing the status of men entered or paying $10.00 to that 
body for its sanction. The Association, by arranging conflicting 
dates, may cause the A. A. U. to cancel its affiliation with the 
League. 

Note. — The Governing Committee will use its discretion in 
granting sanctions for dates conflicting with games to be held 
by an organization which has been granted an A. A. U. sanction. 

(10) REGISTRATION. 

(a) Individuals representing Associations in competition and 
for record must have been registered in the League before the 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 87 

performance. Novices shall be required to register. The regis- 
tration card expires with membership in the Association. 

(b) The applicant for registration must be recommended by 
the General Secretary or Physical Director of his Association as 
being in suitable physical condition. 

(c) In all cases the proper blanks must be filled out by the 
applicant, properly endorsed by either the Secretary or Physical 
Director, and forwarded to the Secretary of the League, accom- 
panied by the fee of 25 cents. He will register the man and 
give him a number and ticket, good for one year from date 
punched in ticket, except where the membership in the Associa- 
tion expires before the date of expiration punched in card. See 
paragraph (a) last clause. 

(d) Associations not in the League may register their men as 
do the Associations in the League. 

(c) Athletic League registration cards will be honored in A. 
A. U. games and vice versa. 

(11) OFFICIAL PROGRAMME. 

Both the registration and competitor's number must be printed 
on the official programme. The absence of such number on the 
entry blank is sufficient reason for refusing said entry. Marked 
programme must be sent to the Secretary of the League immedi- 
ately after the games. Further sanctions will depend upon the 
compliance with the whole of the above rule. 

(12) DISTRICT ]\IEETS. 

District groups of Associations in the League may invite teams 
representing bodies not members in the League to join them in 
competition. Such teams may win the competition, but cannot 
win the Association district championship or trophy. They do 
not become members of the League, 

(13) BICYCLE RACING. 

When bicycle races are held in which only members of one or 
more Young Men's Christian Associations are entered, the Ath- 
letic League sanction is sufficient. When other than members of 
Young Men's Christian Associations are entered National 
Cycling Association sanction is required. Individuals entering 
races held under League sanction must be registered with the 
League. League registration is not good when races are held 
under N. C. A. sanction, and vice versa.

professionals, and whether such competition be for a prize or 
not. 

(b) Ever having competed for money in any athletic or gym- 
nastic exercise. 

(c) Ever having competed under a false name in any athletic 
or gymnastic exercise. 

(d) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for 
a prize, or with a professional where gate money is charged in 
any athletic or gymnastic exercise. 

(<?) Ever having pursued as a means of livelihood any athletic 
or gymnastic exercise. 

(7) Ever having directly or indirectly sold a prize. 

(g) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered in any capacity at any professional exhibit or contest of 
any athletic or gymnastic exercise whatsoever. 

(B) An athlete shall forfeit his right to compete as an ama- 
teur, and shall thereby become a non-competing amateur if he 
shall 

(a) Directly or indirectly receive payment for training, or 
coaching any other person in any athletic or gymnastic exercise. 

(b) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered in teaching any athletic or gymnastic exercise. 

(c) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered as an official, or in any other capacity at any exhibition 
or contest of any athletic or gymnastic exercise whatsoever. 

Note. — Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the ac- 
ceptance by any amateur of his necessary traveling expenses in- 
curred as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, or starter, in going to 
and from the place of any amateur contest. 

(d) Directly or indirectly run, manage, or direct for pros-

wholly of professionals, except in basket ball. 

(2) Reinstatements, expulsions, and suspensions may be made 
by the Governing Committee only.

ARTICLES OF ALLIANCE 

BETWEEN THE 

ATHLETIC LEAGUE OF YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN 
ASSOCIATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA 

and THE 

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION 

OF THE 

UNITED STATES. 



Article I. 



At all meetings of the Amateur Athletic Union the Athletic 
League of Young Men's Christian Associations shall be entitled 
to representation by not more than four delegates, or duly elected 
alternates of such delegates, having collectively one vote. 

Article II. 

From among these delegates one shall be chosen to be a member 
of the Board of Governors of the Amateur Athletic Union, who 
shall have voice, vote, and privilege equal to the other members of 
said Board upon matters coming before it. 

Article III. 

All members of Amateur Athletic Union clubs entering Young 
Men's Christian Association League games shall be governed by 
the rules of the Athletic League of Young Men's Christian Asso- 
ciations, but members of Young Men's Christian Associations en- 
tering any games given under the rules of the Amateur Athletic 
Union shall be governed by the rules of the Amateur Athletic 
Union. 

Article IV. 

. No member of any Young Men's Christian Association which 
IS enrolled as a member of the Athletic League of Young Men's 
Christian Associations of North America shall be allowed to com- 
pete for any club in the Amateur Athletic Union, provided he has 
within one year competed for such Young Men's Christian Asso- 
ciation, ->vLcpt the consent of the governing body of such Youno- 
Men's Cnristian Association be obtained. ** 



138 Spalding's athletic library. 

Article V. 

No member of any Amateur Athletic Union club shall be al- 
lowed to represent any Young Men's Christian Association in 
games of any local branch of the Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tion Athletic League, provided he has, within one year, com- 
peted for any Amateur Athletic Union club, excepting with the 
consent of the Board of Governors of the athletic club which he 
last represented. 

Article VI. 

Each party to this alliance shall respect and enforce the pen- 
alties, suspensions, and disqualifications imposed by the other 
party. 

Article VII. 

Only those local Young Men's Christian Associations or 
branches which are enrolled as bona fide members of the Athletic 
League of Young Men's Christian Associations shall be entitled 
to the privileges and protection of this affiliation. 

Article VIII. 

These articles of alliance may be terminated by either party 
upon thirty days' written notice to the other. 

For the Amateur Athletic Union, 

Bartow S. Weeks, President. 
For the Athletic League of the Young Men's Christian Asso- 
ciations of North America. 

Frederic B. Pratt, 
Chairman of the Governing Committee. 

Articles I. and II. give the League continuous representation on 
the Governing Board of the Amateur Athletic Union and ally it 
with the best interests of amateur sport in the country, and in 
so far as we have influence will enable us to co-operate with them 
in maintaining that high standard of sport which it is our mutual 
desire to secure. 

Article III., as clearly stated in it, provides for mutual 
autonomy. Games held under sanction of the League, whether 
closed or open, shall be held under League rules exclusively. 
Conversely, the games of the Amateur Athletic Union are ex- 
clusively under their own control, and even when League mem- 
bers enter their games they abide entirely by their ruling, and not 
by the League. 

Articles IV. and V. are the most important ones. The rules 
are also those which govern the relations of the Amateur Athletic 
Union Clubs to each other. The reason for their original adop- 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 139 

tion was that the strong athletic chibs could by superior facilities 
draw away the best members from the small clubs and thus render 
it difficult for the smaller clubs to do anything in the line of 
athletics. It was a measure of protection. The League now takes 
the same position with reference to them that they take with 
reference to each other. It has been claimed that certain athletic 
clubs habitually drew their prominent athletes from our Associa- 
tion, and that it was impossible to hold in the Association men 
who excelled in any line of athletic sport, even though they had 
been trained by the Association. This will be largely remedied 
in the future by the operation of these rules. 

Aricle VI. This alliance is not between the Young Men's 
Christian Associations and the Amateur Athletic Union, but be- 
tween the Athletic League of the Associations and the Amateur 
Athletic Union. While the League will endeavor to render as 
definite service as possible to the entire cause of the Young Men's 
Christian Associations, its immediate effort and benefits must be 
confined chiefly to the Associations that indicate their interest 
and desire to be governed by its rules by joining it. The door 
into the League is open, and it is hoped that all Associations 
which have physical work will ally themselves with this general 
movement. Local associations may, if they wish, join both organi- 
zations. 

Article VII. Men who are suspended by the Amateur Athletic 
Union are ipso facto suspended during the same period from 
League games ; and, similarly, men whom for any reason the 
League suspends from competition in its games are suspended for 
the same period from all games of the Union. Thus both bodies 
stand in a position of mutual co-operation and helpfulness with 
reference to the necessary discipline of our own athletic sports. _ 

Article VIII. In case of difficulty between the two parties, this 
article gives opportunity for withdrawal or alteration, without 
which it would be hardly possible for either party to go into the 
arrangement.

assigned by these rules to the officials or the Governing Com- 
mittee. 

They shall make arrangements for the games, grounds, officials, 
expenses, advertising, etc. 

Rule III. The Referee. 

The Referee shall decide all questions relating to the actual 
conduct of the meeting whose final settlement is not otherwise 
covered by these rules. 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY, I45 

He alone shall have the power to change the order of events 
as laid down in the official programme, and to add to or to alter 
the announced arrangement of heats in any event. A Referee 
has no authority, after heats have been duly drawn and published 
in a programme, to transfer a contestant from one heat to an- 
other. 

When in any but the final heat of a race a claim of foul or in- 
terference is made, he shall have the power to disqualify the 
competitor who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional 
or due to culpable carelessness, and shall also have the power to 
allow the hindered competitor to start in the next round of heats 
just as if he had been placed in his trial. 

When in a final heat a claim of foul or intereference is made, 
he shall have the power to disqualify the competitor who was at 
fault, if he considers the foul intentional or due to culpable care- 
lessness, and he shall also have the power to order a new race 
between such of the competitors as he thinks entitled to such a 
privilege. 

If, during any athletic contest, a competitor conduct himself 
in a manner unbecoming a gentleman, or offensive to the officials, 
spectators, or competitors, the Referee shall have the power to 
disqualify him from further competition at the meeting; and if 
he thinks the offense worthy of additional punishment, shall 
make a detailed statement of the facts to the Governing Com- 
mittee within 48 hours. 

Rule IV. The Inspectors. 

It shall be the duty of an Inspector to stand at such point as 
the Referee may designate ; to watch the competition closely, 
and in case of a claim of foul to report to the Referee what he 
saw of the incident. 

Such Inspectors are assistants to the Referee, to whom they 
shall report, and have no power to make any decisions. 

Rule V. The Judges at Finish 

shall determine the order of finishing of contestants, and shall 
arrange among themselves as to noting the winner, second, third, 
fourth, etc., as the case may require. 

Their decision in this respect shall be without appeal, and in 
case of disagreement a majority shall govern. 

Rule VI. The Field Judges. 

shall make an accurate measurement, and keep a tally of all com- 
petitiors in the high and broad jumps, the pole vault, and the 
weight competitions. 



146 Spalding's athletic library.

shall likewise be without appeal. In case of disagreement a ma- 
jority shall govern. 

Relay Judges shall perform such duties as the R.rferee may- 
assign to them. 

Rule VII. The Timekeepers 

shall be three in number. They shall individually time all events 
where time record is required, and determine among themselves 
and announce the official time of each heat or race. 

Should two of the three watches mark the same time and the 
third disagree, the time marked by the two watches shall be ac- 
cepted. Should all three disagree, the time marked by the inter- 
mediate watch shall be accepted. 

The Hash of the pistol shall denote the actual time of starting 
If, for any reason, only two watches record the time of an event, 
and they fail to agree, the longer time of the two shall be ac- 
cepted. 

Note. — For record, however, the event must be timed by three 
watches. See by-laws, section 13, paragraph 2. 

Rules VIII. The Starter 

shall have sole jurisdiction over the competitors after the clerk 
of the course has properly placed them in their positions for the 
start. 

The method of starting shall be by pistol report, except that in 
time handicap races the word "go" may be used. 

An actual start shall not be effected until the pistol has been 
purposely discharged after the competitors have been warned to 
get ready. 

In case the pistol was not purposely discharged the com- 
petitors shall be called back by the Starter by pistol fire. (Note. 
— the Starter must have at least two good cartridges in his pistol 
before starting a heat or race.) 

When any part of the person of a competitor shall touch the 
ground in front of his mark before the starting signal is given 
it shall be considered a false start. 

Penalties for false starting shall be inflicted by the Starter as 
follows : 

In all races up to and including 125 yards, the competitor shall 
be put back one yard for the first and another yard for the 
second attempt ; in races over 125 yards and including 300

1,000 yards and including one mile, five yards for the first and 
five more for the second attempt ; in all races over one mile, 
ten yards for the first and ten more for the second attempt. In 
all cases the third false start shall disqualify the offender from 
that event.

who attempts to advance himself from his mark, as prescribed in 
the official programme, after the Clerk of the Course has assigned 
him his place. 



Rule IX. The Clerk of the Course 

shall be provided with the names and the numbers of all entered 
competitors, and shall notify them to appear at the starting line 
before the start in each event in which they are entered. 

In case of handicap events from marks, he shall place each 
competitor behind his proper mark; shall immediately notify 
the Starter should any competitor attempt to advance himself 
after the Starter has warned them to "get ready;" and in time 
allowance handicaps shall furnish the Starter with the number 
and time allowance of each actual competitor. 

He shall control his assistants, and assign to them their duties. 



Rule XL The Scorer. 

shall record the order in which each competitor finishes his 
event, together with the time furnished him by the Timekeepers. 

He shall keep a tally of the laps made by each competitor in 
races covering more than one lap, and shall announce by means 
of a bell, or otherwise, when the leading man enters the last 
lap. 

He shall control his assistants, and assign to them their 
duties. 



Rule XII, The Marshal.

any but officials and actual competitors from entering or remain- 
ing therein. 

He shall control his assistants, and assign to them their 
duties. 

Rule XIII. The Official Announcer.

on the track immediately prior to or during competitions except 
in distances exceeding one mile. 



Rule XV. Competitors 

shall report to the Clerk of the Course immediately upon their

spicuously by the competitors when competing, and without which 
they shall not be allowed to start. 

Each competitor shall inform himself of the time of starting, 
and shall be promptly at the starting point of each competition 
in which he is entered, and there report to the Clerk of the 
Course. 

Under no condition shall any attendants be allowed to accom- 
pany competitors at the start or during any competition, except 
in match races where special agreement may be made. 

Rule XVI. Protests. 

All protests against any entered competitor must be made in 
writing to the Games Committee or any member thereof before 
the meeting, or verbally to the Referee during the meeting. 
If possible, the committee or Referee shall decide such pro- 
tests at once. If the nature of the protest or the neces- 
sity of obtaining testimony prevents an immediate decision, the 
competitor shall be allowed to compete under protest, and the 
protest shall be decided by the Games Committee within one 
week, unless its subject be the amateur standing of the competi- 
tor, in which case the Games Committee must report such pro- 
test within forty-eight hours to the Secretary of the Governing 
Committee. 

(2) All protests, except in regard to interpretation of rules and 
amateur standing, shall be decided by the committee or Referee

Rule XVII. Track Measurement. 

All distances run or walked shall be measured upon a line 
eighteen inches outward from the inner edge of the track, ex- 
cept that in races on straightaway tracks the distance shall be 
measured in a direct line from the starting mark to the finish- 
ing line. Indoor padded tracks shall be measured upon a line 
following the centre of the padding. The committee reserve the 
right to require in case a record is claimed the sworn statement 
of a civil engineer regarding the measurement of the course. 

Rule XVIII. The Course. 

Each competitor shall keep in his respective position from 
start to finish in all races on straightaway tracks, and in all races 
on tracks with one or more turns he shall not cross to the inner 
edge of the track, except when he is at least six feet in advance 
of his nearest competitor. After turning the last corner into the 
straight in any race, each competitor must keep a straight course 
to the finish line, and not cross, either to the outside or the inside, 
in front of any of his opponents. 

In all championship races, at any distance under and including 
300 yards, each competitor shall have a separate course, properly 
roped, staked, and measured, whether the race be run on a 
straight path or around one or more curves. 

The Referee shall have power to disqualify from that event 
any competitor who wilfully pushes against, impedes, crosses the 
course of, or in any way interferes with, another competitor. 

The Referee shall have power to disqualify from further par- 
ticipation in the games any contestant competing in order to lose, 
to coach, or to in any way impede chances of another competitor 
either in a trial or final contest. 

Rule XIX. The Finish 

of the course shall be represented by a line between two finishing 
posts, drawn across and at right angles to the sides of the track, 
and four feet above which line shall be placed a tape attached 
at either end to the finishing posts. A finish shall be counted 
when any part of the winner's body, except his hands or arms, 
shall touch the tape at the finish line. The tape is to be con- 
sidered the finishing line for the winner, but the order of finish- 
ing across the track line shall determine the positions of the 
other competitors. 

Rule XX. Hurdles. 

In the 120 yards hurdle race ten hurdles shall be used, each 
hurdle being three feet six inches high. They shall be placed ten 



150 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY.

starting point, and the last hurdle fifteen yards before the finish- 
ing line. In the 220 yards hurdle race ten hurdles shall be used, 
each hurdle to be two feet six inches high. They shall be placed 
twenty yards apart, with the first hurdle twenty yards distant 
from the starting mark, and the last hurdle twenty yards before 
^he finishing line. 

In making a record it shall be necessary for the competitor to 
jump over every hurdle in its proper position. 

In all championship hurdle races each competitor shall have 
separate hurdles and a separate course marked out and meas- 
ured independently, whether races are run straightaway or with

Sec. 6. Positions shall be drawn for, and during the race no 
team shall be allowed to change its start or finish position. 

Sec. 7. A line shall be drawn twenty feet in front of each 
starting line. Between these two lines each runner must touch

team in that event. There shall be Judges of Relay Racing 
whose duties it shall be to see that all touches are properly made. 

Sec. 8. In the case of a handicap relay race, the boy on the 
first relay is granted the total handicap allowed each team. 

Rule XXII. Ties. 

In all contests whose results are determined by measurement of 
height or distance, ties shall be decided as follows : 

In handicap contests the award shall be given to the competitor 
who received the least allowance. In case of a tie between two or 
more competitors who received the same allowance, the decision 
shall be made as in scratch contests. 

In case of a tie in a scratch contest at high jumping or vault- 
ing, the tieing competitors shall have three additional trials at the 
height last tried, and, if still undecided, the bar shall be lowered 
two inches in the high jump and four inches in the pole vault. 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 15I 

and three trials taken at that height. If no one clears it, the 
bar shall be lowered again and again until one of the competitors 
clears it. In case of a second tie, the award shall be given to the 
competitor who cleared the bar with the least number of trials. 

In case of a tie in a scratch contest at any game decided by- 
distance, each of the tieing competitors shall have three addi- 
tional trials, and the award shall be made in accordance with 
the distance cleared in these additional trials. In case of a second 
tie three more trials shall be allowed, and so on, until a decision 
is reached. In case of a dead heat in any track events, the com- 
petitors shall not be allowed to divide the prize or points, or to 
toss for them, but must compete again at a time and place ap- 
pointed by the Referee. 

Order of Competition in Field Events. 

In all scratch events the competitors shall take their trials in 
the order of their names as printed in the programme. 

In all handicap events the competitors having the greatest 
allowance shall make the first trial, and so on, in regular order, 
up to the competitor at scratch or with least allowance, who 
shall have the last trial. 

Rule XXIII. Jumping. 

Section i. A fair jump shall be one that is made without the 
assistance of weights, diving, somersaults or hand springs of any 
kind. 

THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP. 

Sec. 2. The Field Judges shall decide the height at which the 
jump shall commence, and shall regulate the succeeding eleva- 
tions. 

Each competitor shall be allowed three trial jumps at each 
height, and if on the third trial he shall fail, he shall be declared 
out of the competition. 

At each successive height each competitor shall take one trial 
in his proper turn, then those failing, if any, shall have their sec- 
ond trial jump in a like order, after which those having failed 
twice shall make their third trial jump. 

The jump shall be made over a one-inch square bar resting on 
pins projecting not more than three inches from the uprights, 
and when this bar is removed from its place it shall be counted 
as a trial jump. 

Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump shall be 



152 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

counted as a "balk," and three successive "balks" shall be counted 
as a trial jump. 

The distance of the run before the jump shall be unlimited. 

The height of the bar at starting and at each successive ele- 
vation shall be determined by the officials. 

A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his turn, 
and, by so doing, forfeits his right to again jump at the height 
declined. Having attempted to jump any height it must be 
cleared before another height can be attempted. 

Sec. 3. The Standing High Jump. The feet of the competitor 
may be placed in any position, but shall leave the ground only 
once in making an attempt to jump. When the feet are lifted 
from the ground twice, or two springs are made in making the 
attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without result. A com- 
petitor may rock forward and back, lifting heels and toes alter- 
nately from the ground, but may not lift either foot clear from 
the ground or slide it along the ground in any direction. With 
these exceptions the rules governing the Running High Jump 
shall also govern the Standing High Jump. 

Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump. When jumped on earth 
a joist five inches wide shall be sunk flush with it. The outer 
edge of this joist shall be called the scratch line, and the meas- 
urement of all jumps shall be made from it at right angles to the 
nearest break in the ground made by any part of the person of 
the competitor. 

In front of the scratch line the ground shall be removed to 
the depth of three and the width of tw^elve inches outward. 

A foul jump shall be one where the competitor in jumping off 
the scratch line touches the ground immediately in front of it, or 
runs over the line without jumping, and shall count as a trial 
jump without result. 

Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best 
three shall each have three more trial jumps. 

The competition shall be decided by the best of all the trial 
jumps of the competition. 

The distance of the run before the scratch line shall be un- 
limited. 

Sec. 5. The Pole Fault. Poles shall be furnished by the or- 
ganization giving the games, but contestants may use their private 
poles if they so desire, and no contestant shall be allowed to use 
any of these private poles except by the consent of its owner. The 
poles shall be unlimited as to size and weight, but shall have no 
assisting devices, except that they be wound or wrapped with any 
substance for the purpose of affording a firmer grasp, and may 
have one prong at the lower end. 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 153 

No competitor shall during his vault raise the hand which was 
uppermost when he left the ground to a higher point of the pole, 
nor shall he raise the hand which was undermost when he left 
the ground to any point on the pole above the other hand. 

Any competitor shall be allowed to dig a hole not more than 
one foot in diameter at the take-off in which to plant his pole. 

The height of the bar at starting and at each successive eleva- 
tion shall be determined by the officials. A line shall be drawn 
fifteen feet in front of the bar and parallel with it : crossing this 
line in an attempt shall constitute a balk. Two balks shall con- 
stitute a trial. 

With these additions, the rules governing the Running High 
Jump shall also govern the Pole Vault for height, and the rules 
governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Pole 
Vault for distance, except that when a man leaves the ground in 
an attempt it shall be counted a trial. 

Sec. 6. The Standing Broad Jump. The feet of the com- 
petitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the ground 
only once in making an attempt to jump. When the feet are 
lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are made in making 
the attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without result. A com- 
petitor may rock forward and back, lifting heels and toes al- 
ternately from the ground, but may not lift either foot clear of 
the ground, or slide it along the ground in any direction. In all 
other respects the rule governing the Running Broad Jump shall 
also govern the Standing Broad Jump. 

Sec. 7. The Three Standing Broad Jumps. The feet of the 
competitor shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt 
for each of the three jumps, and no stoppage between jumps 
shall be allowed. In all other respects the rules governing the 
Standing Broad Jump shall also govern the Three Standing 
Broad Jumps. 

Sec. 8. Running Hop, Step and Jump. The competitor shall 
first land upon the same foot with which he shall have taken off. 
The reverse foot shall be used for the second landing, and both 
feet shall be used for the third landing. In all other respects 
the rules governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern 
the Running Hop, Step and Jump. 

Sec. 9. The Two Standing Broad Jumps. The rules as out- 
lined for three jumps shall govern, except that the individual 
shall take but two jumps. 

Sec. 10. Standing Hop, Step and Jump. The contestant shall 
stand upon one foot ; shall spring therefrom, alighting upon the 
same. He shall then take a step and then a jump. With this 
exception, the rule for the Three Broad Jumps shall apply.

All puts shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter. 
The circle to be a metal or wooden ring, painted or whitewashed, 
and sunk almost flush with the turf, and it shall be divided into 
two halves by a line drawn through the center. In the middle of 
the circumference of the front half shall be placed a stop-board 
four feet long, four inches high, and firmly fastened to the 
ground. In making his puts, the feet of the competitor may rest 
against, but not on top of this board. 

A fair put shall be one in which no part of the person of the 
competitor touches the top of the stop-board or the ground out- 
side the circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear 
half. A put shall be foul if any part of the person of the com- 
petitor touch the ground outside the front half of the circle or 
the top of the stop board before the put is measured. 

The measurement of each put shall be from the nearest mark 
made by the fall of the shot to the inside circumference of the 
circle on a line from the mark made by the shot to the center of 
the circle. 

Foul puts and letting go the shot in making an attempt shall 
be counted as trial puts without result. 

A board similar to the one in front may be used at the back 
of the circle. Shots must be weighed on the grounds by the 
judges of the event immediately prior to the contest. 

The number of trials and methods of decision shall be the 



SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 155 

same as for the Running Broad Jump. Shots shall be furnished 
by the games committee. Any contestant may use his private 
shot, if correct in weight and shape, in which case the other con- 
testants may also be allowed to use it if they wish.

The competitor may assume any position he chooses, and use 
either one or both hands. 

All throws shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter, 
and this circle shall be divided into two halves by a line drawn 
through its center. 

A fair throw shall be one in which no part of the person of 
the competitor touches the ground outside the circle, and the 
competitor leaves the circle by its rear half. A throw shall be 
foul if any part of the person of the competitor touch the ground 
cjtside the front half of the circle before the throw is measured. 

Foul throws and letting go of the hammer in an attempt shall 
count as trial throws. 

The measurement of each throw shall be from the nearest 
mark made by the fall of the head of the hammer to the inside 
circumference of the circle, on a line from the mark made by the 
head of the hammer to the centre of the circle. 

The number of trials and methods of decision shall be the same 
as in the Running Broad Jump. 

Hammers shall be furnished by the Games Committee. Any 
contestant may use his private hammer, if correct in weight and 
length, in which case the other contestants may use it only with

as in his judgment are required. Ordinarily there should be 
one assistant to each of the judges of jumping, vaulting, and 
hammer throwing for every ten contestants, and as many assist- 
ants in the dash as there are men to be run in a heat. 

Sec. 2. The Clerk of the Course shall furnish a number to 
each competitor by which he shall be known. He shall form the 
contestants into groups of not more than ten. and shall place 
in charge of each group an assistant. It shall be the duty of 
the assistant to see that the men under his care go through all 
the work without undue delay between events. He shall keep 
each contestant absolutely within his group. 

Sec. 3. Tlie Judge for each event shall have, under the referee, 
full charge in his department. He shall be responsible to sec 
that all men put in his care are carried through the event fairly 
and as expeditiously as possible. Upon the completion of any 
event by a contestant the judge shall at once give his number 
to the assistant clerk in whose charge he is, and also give his 
number and score to the scorer. 

Sec. 4. The Starter shall control the competitors at the mark.

The line 1-2 is the finish. 



Spalding's athletic library. i6i 

The lines a-b, c-d, e-f, g-h form the lanes in which the con- 
testants are to run. 

The line 3-4 is drawn three feet from the line 1-2; the lines 
5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are drawn at regular intervals of six feet. 

Each contestant shall have as many fifths of a second added 
to the score of the leading man as there are transverse lines 
between them when the finish pistol is fired. When a man is 
on a line it is to count as one-half a fifth, equivalent to five 
points. If a man were on the line 5-6 when the pistol was 
fired, and the time given was eleven seconds, there is one line 
between the two men ; this adds one-fifth second ; being on the 
line adds one-tenth more, making eleven and three-tenths sec- 
onds. If he had been just behind this line the score would have 
been eleven and two-fifths seconds, or if just in front, eleven 
and one-fifth seconds. 

Sec. 9. Timers. Not less than three watches shall be held 
on the leading man in each heat. 

Sec. 10. The Seorer shall keep a complete list of competitors 
and credit each man with his performance, as reported to him 
by the judges or timers of that event. He shall also reduce 
the records of the performance in the different events by each 
individual to the standard table, and shall record the number 
of points made in each event by each man. A man passing the 
upper limit in any event shall be credited proportionately. No 
mark less than zero shall be given, even in case the record falls 
below the measure indicated for zero. 

Sec. II. The Reporter shall keep upon a blackboard, suitably 
prepared, the number of points made by each man ; shall make 
announcements to the spectators, and, as far as possible, keep 
them intelligently informed of the contest and its progress. 

Sec. 12. The Marshal shall have full police charge, and see 
that spectators are kept in the place assigned to them. 

IV. Records. 

Records shall be accepted only for the five stated events. Any 
may be omitted, however, the contestant receiving zero in each 
such event. 

V. Numbers. 

Each competitor shall receive from the clerk of the course, 
and shall fasten upon his person in a conspicuous place, a num- 
ber by which he shall be known in that competition. 

VI. Running. 

In races on straight tracks competitors shall keep their own 
positions on the track from start to finish. 



I62 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

VII. Running High Jump and Pole Vaulting. 
The stick shall be started as nearly as possible to three feet 
and six inches from the ground in the high jump and five feet 
and ten inches in the pole vault. It shall be raised thereafter 
two inches at a time in the high jump and four inches in the 
pole vault. Displacing the bar is a failure. Each contestant 
shall be allowed but ten jumps, and not more than three jumps 
at any one height. Every height attempted must be cleared be- 
fore another can be tried. The best one shall be counted. 
Contestants shall jump in regular order, as called for by the 
judge. A contestant may omit his jump at any height, but he 
cannot in any case try a height after once having "passed" it. 
The jump shall be made over a square bar. Three successive 
balks shall count as one failure, and thus be one of the ten jumps 
called for. It is a trial if the contestant leaves the ground in an 
attempt in the pole vault. It is a balk if the contestant runs 
under the bar in the high jump or pole vault. The "dive" is not 
allowed. There shall be one set of jump standards for every 
ten contestants. The pole vault standards may have any support 
in which to stick the pole. It must, however, be no higher than- 
the surface of the ground. Private poles may be used, but only 
by owners or with their permission. 

VIII. Throwing the Hammer. 

The hammer shall not be more than four feet in length, and 
shall weigh not less than twelve pounds. Fulfilling these condi- 
tions, it may be of any size, shape or material. The hammer 
shall be thrown from a circle having a radius of three and one- 
half feet. But three attempts shall be allowed. An attempt is 
as follows : When the competitor takes his place inside the cir- 
cle with the hammer, then lets go of the hammer and the head 
strikes outside of this circle, it is a try. The distance shall 
be measured from the nearest break in the ground caused by 
the hammer head to the nearest point in the circumference of 
the circle. A foul shall count as an attempt, but shall not be 
measured. A foul is as follows : When a contestant has thrown 
the hammer, and any portion of his person touches the ground 
outside the line of the half circle in the direction of the 
throw before the distance has been measured. No "turn" is al- 
lowed. Private hammers may be used, but only by the owners 
or with their permission. 

Judges must weigh and measure all hammers. 

IX. Rank. 
Every contestant scoring a total of two hundred points or 
over shall be entitled to bronze or third grade, with medal hay- 



Spalding's athletic library. 163 

ing bronze bars and silver pendant. Three hundred points con- 
stitute the lower limit of the silver or second grade, with medal 
having silver bar and pendant, and also official certificate. Four 
hundred points entitle contestant to gold, or first grade. 

X. Order. 

The events shall begin with the dash and end with the mile 
run. The high jump and hammer throw shall precede the pole 
vault. 

XL Registration and Sanction. 

In the official Pentathlon, where men from one or more Young 
Men's Christian Associations compete, registration is not re- 
quired. If open to other organizations, registration is required. 
Sanction in both instances is necessary. 

XII. Further Arrangements. 
Further arrangements shall be made by the referee.

HAND BALL RULES' 



Court. — The service wall should be approximately in the pro- 
portion of four (4) for height to five (5) for width. The side 
lines of the court should run at right angles to the service wall. 
The court should be approximately two and one-half times as 
long as the service wall is high, divided into two equal parts 
by a line running parallel with the service wall, which line is the 
service line. A space three feet square shall be marked in the 
outer court in both corners, formed by the service line and the 
side lines ; these spaces shall be termed the "partners' boxes." 

Ball. For the majority of Association courts the regular ten- 
nis ball is best. 

Game. — The game shall consist of twenty-one points, and may 
be played by two, three or four persons. 

Rule i. The choice for the right to serve shall be decided by 
toss. 

Rule 2. The player serving the ball shall be termed the 
server, and the player to whom the ball is served the receiver. 

Rule 3, At the end of the first service the server shall be- 
come the receiver and the receiver the server, and so on alter- 
nately in all subsequent services of the game. 

Rule 4. The ball must be served from behind the service line 
within the court. The server may stand with one foot in front 
of the service line. On the service the ball must be struck from 
a bounce behind the service line, hit the service wall and then 
land in the outer court (beyond the service line). 

Rule 5. A fault consists of a ball not served over the ser- 
vice line, or a ball served over the back or side lines. Two con- 
secutive faults shall retire the server. A fault cannot be re- 
turned. 

Rule 6. The server shall not serve until the receiver is ready. 
After a server has been retired he shall be given sufficient time 
to get into position before play is resumed. If the latter at- 
tempts to return the service he shall be deemed ready. 

* See Diagram on page 188. 



1 86 Spalding's athletic library. 

Rule 7. A service or fault delivered when the receiver is not 
ready counts for nothing. 

Rule 8. The ball is in play on leaving the server's hand, ex- 
cept as provided for in Rule 5. 

Rule 9. The server wins a point if the receiver fails to re- 
turn the service or ball in play so that it drops outside the court ; 
or if the receiver loses as provided by Rule 16. Only the side 
serving scores. 

Rule 10. The server loses his service if he serves two con- 
secutive faults ; or if he fails to return the ball in play ; or if 
he returns the ball in play so that it falls outside of the court; 
or, if in attempting to serve, he fails to strike the ball ; or if 
the ball, when served, fails to strike the service wall first ; or if 
he otherwise loses as provided by Rule 16. 

Rule ii. A ball falling on the line is regarded as falling in- 
side the court. 

Rule 12. In a four-handed game, the side serving first is al- 
lowed but one service at the commencement of the game. After 
the first service each side is allowed two consecutive services, 
the two partners alternating in turn. The server's partner must 
stand in one of the ''partners' boxes" until the ball strikes the 
service wall on each service. In a three-handed game the single 
player shall have every alternate service. 

Rule 13. If the ball, when served, strikes the server or his 
partner, it retires the server. If it strikes the receiver or re- 
ceiver's partner, before or after bouncing, it becomes non-play- 
able and counts a point for the server. If the ball in play strikes 
a player it shall count against such player. 

Rule 14. A hinder is — 

(a) When the player is prevented by the proximity of a spec- 
tator from properly returning the ball. 

{b) When a player interferes with another in such a manner 
as to prevent him from properly returning the ball. 

(c) When the ball strikes any apparatus within the court 
lines and such apparatus is not higher than the service wall. A 
hinder shall count nothing. 

Rule 15. The use of the foot is debarred. Only one hand 
may be used in striking the ball, and it may be struck but once 
on the return. Violation of this rule shall count against the 
player so doing. 

Rule 16. The officials shall be a referee, scorer, and lines- 
man. 

(a) The Referee shall decide all questions pertaining to the 
serving of the ball and its return, and shall be judge of hinders 
and faults, and shall decide all questions not covering these rules 
His decision shall be final on all questions. 



Spalding's athletic library. 187 

(b) The Scorer shall keep a correct record of the points made 
and shall keep the contestants informed as to the progress of the 
game. 

(c) The Linesman shall decide when the ball is in or out of 
court, and report to the referee.

VOLLEY BALL RULES' 



Volley Ball is a game which is well fitted for the gymnasium, 
but which may also be played out of doors. Any number of 
persons may play that is convenient to the place. It consists of 
keeping the ball in motion over a high net from one side to 
the other, thus partaking of the character of two games — tennis 
and hand ball. 

Play is started by a player on one side serving the ball over 
the net into the opponents' court. The opponents, without al- 
lowing the ball to strike the floor, return it, and it is in this 
way kept going back and forth until one side fails to return 
it, or it strikes out of bounds. If the serving side fails to re- 
turn the ball in the opponents' court, it counts as an out. If 
the receiving side fails to return the ball in the opponents' court, 
the serving side scores one point. 

RULES. 

Rule i. Game. The game shall consist of twenty-one points. 

Rule 2. Court. A court or floor space shall be 25 feet wide, 
50 feet long, to be divided into two square courts 25 x 25 feet by 
the net. The boundary lines must be plainly marked so as to be 
visible from all parts of the courts ; these lines shall be at least 
three feet from the wall.. Note. — The exact size of the court 
may be changed to suit the convenience of the place. 

Rule 3. Net. The net shall be at least two feet wide and 27 
feet long, and shall be suspended from the walls on uprights 
placed at least i foot outside of the side lines. The top line of 
the net at the center must be 7 feet 6 inches from the floor. 

Rule 4. Ball. The ball shall be round ; it shall be made of 
a rubber bladder covered with leather. It shall measure not 
less than 25 inches nor more than 27 inches in circumference, 
and shall weigh not less than 9 ounces nor more than 12 ounces. 

Rule 5. Server and Service. The server shall stand with 

* Suggested changes presented to the Physical Directors' Conference, June, 1900, 
by W. E. Day, and adopted by Governing Committee.

one foot on the back line. The ball must be batted with the 
open hand and not struck with the fist. The ball may be served 
over the net into any part of the opponents' court. A service 
which strikes the net or anything within the playing space and 
falls good in the opponents' court shall be called a fault. A 
server shall lose his service if he serves two consecutive faults. 
A service which strikes the net, or any object within the play- 
ing space and falls without the opponents' court, shall retire the 
server. In a service the ball must be batted at least ten feet, no 
dribbing allowed. A service which would strike the net, but 
is struck by a player of the same side before striking the net. 
if it goes over into the opponents' court, is good. The man 
serving continues to do so. until out, either by the ball being 
knocked out of bounds by his side or their failure to return it. 
Each man shall serve in turn. 

Rule 6. Scoring. Each good service unreturned or ball in 
play unreturned, or ball knocked out of bounds by the side re- 
ceiving, counts one point for the side serving. A side scores 
only when serving as a failure to return the ball on their part 
or knocking the ball out of bounds, results in the server being 
put out. 

Rule 7. Net Ball. A play which is returned, but strikes the 
net aside from the first service, is equivalent to a return. 

Rule 8. Li)ie Ball. Is a ball striking the boundary line, and 
is equivalent to one in court. 

Rule 9. Play and Players. Should any player during the 
game touch the net, it puts the ball out of play and counts against 
his side ; if said player is on the serving side the ball goes to 
the opponents ; if on the receiving side, one point is scored for 
the server. Should two opponents touch the net simultaneously, 
the ball shall be declared out of play and shall be served again 
by the serving side. Should any player catch or hold the ball 
for an instant, it is out of play and counts for the opposite side. 
Should the ball strike any object within the playing space other 
than the floor and ceiling, and bound (back) into the court, it is 
still in play. If the ball strikes any object outside of the court 
and bounds back again, it shall count against the side which 
struck it last. To dribble is to strike the ball quickly and re- 
peatedly into the air ; dribbling is not allowed. Any player ex- 
cept the captain addressing the umpire, or making remarks to 
or about him or any of the players on the opposite side, may 
be disqualified and his side be compelled to play the game with- 
out him, or get a substitute, or forfeit the game. Any player 
kicking the ball may be disqualified and his side be compelled to 
play the game without him or get a substitute or forfeit the 
game.

WHAT TO WEAR AND USE 


■~"^ 


\ — 




— ^ 




Cross Country Shoes. 



It is very important 
that the beginner in 
athletics should know 
what to wear for the dif- 
ferent sports. The cross 
country runner requires 
a shoe with a low, broad 
heel, and spikes in sole 
of shoe; he can haye 
spikes in the heel or not, 
just as it suits him. A 
pair of Spalding's No. 
14 shoes, which are made 
of the finest Kangaroo 
leather, and used by all 
the prominent cross country runners, cost $5.50 per pair. A 
sprinter will require a pair of sprinting shoes, No. 2-0, that retail 
for $5.50. It was with this style shoe that Wefers made all his 
records. John Cregan, the Inter-Collegiate Champion, wore 
them, as well as Charles 
Kilpatrick, the peerless 
half-mile runner and 
celebrated record holder. 
The sweater, No. A. of 
finest Australian lamb's 
wool, was made origin- 
ally by special order for 
the Yale foot ball team 
and now used by all col- 
lege athletes, is one of 
the best in the market, 




sells for $6.co; athletic shirt. No. 600, at $1.25; athletic pants, 
No. 3, at 75 cents ; a supporter is very essential for an athlete 
and nearly all the champions use them ; No. 5 is the most suit- 
able one and retails at 75 cents; a pair of corks will cost the 
athlete 15 cents ; pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents ; the 
bath robe is now an essential part of an athlete's outfit — these 
retail at $5.00. This complete outfit costs $19.65. 

The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought 
as follows: Sprinting shoes, No. 10, $4.50; sweater. No. B. 
$5.00 ; shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents ; pants, No. 4. 50 cents ; supporter. 

No. "ji, 50 cents ; corks. 
No. I, 15 cents; pushers, 
No. 5, 25 cents; bath 
robe, $3.50. This second 
grade outfit costs $14.90. 
The pole-vaulter wmII 
want the same outfit, 
with the exception of a 
pair of jumping shoes, 
No. 14-H. which sell for 
$5.50, and a pair of wrist 
supporters. No. 200, 
which can be bought for 
about 40 cents. There is 
one article that a pole- 
vaulter must have, and 
that is his own pole. 
There is an awful lot in getting used to a pole and having confi- 
dence in the one that is yours, because no other contestant is 
allowed to use it according to the rules, which is quite right, for 
we have often seen a pole-vaulter make the fatal mistake of allow- 
ing much heavier men to use his pole and break it. Any one 
can naturally understand that a man who weighs 160 pounds 
cannot use a pole designed for a man weighing 115 pounds. The 
best pole on the market for athletic purposes is the 15-foot 
6-inch pole as supplied by A. G. Spalding & Bros, to the Prince- 




Jumping- and Hurdling Shoes. 



ton University A. A. This pole is made of hollow spruce, thus 
being much lighter, and owing to a special preparation with 

which it is filled, the 
strength and stiffness is 
greatly increased. It re- 
tails for $10.50; a 14- foot 
pole, hollow, retails for 
$9.50, and the solid for 
$6.00. Usually the vault- 
er will wrap the pole 
to suit his own tastes. 

The high jumper and 
the broad jumper will 
want an outfit as fol- 
lows : Jumping shoes, 
No. 14-H, $5.50; sweater, 
No. A, $6.00; shirt. No. 
600, $1.25; pants, No. 3, 
75 cents ; supporter, No. 
5, 75 cents; corks. No. i, 
15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents; bath robe, $5.00. 

An outfit with several of the articles of a cheaper grade than 
the above, costs: Jumping shoes, No. 14-H, $5.50; sweater. No. 
B, $5.00; shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents; pants. No, 4, 50 cents; sup- 
porter, No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. i, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 
25 cents; bath robe, $3.50. 

The man' who throws the weights will require the same wear- 
ing apparel as the pole-vaulter or the runner. John Flanagan 
and James Mitchel, two of the greatest weight throwers in the 
world, wear what is known as the No. 14-H shoe, with a short 
spike, which retails for $5.50. It is very essential that the weight 
thrower should have his own implements ; in fact, nearly all the 
champion weight throwers carry their own weights with them 
and guard them jealously. 

Without doubt the best hammer in the market to-day is the ball- 
bearing championship hammer as designed and used by John 




Intercollegiate Sweater. 




Sleeveless ShirL. 



Flanagan, the record holder and champion thrower of the world. 
This sells for $10.00. An extra leather case for carrying these 
hammers will cost the athlete $2.00. The regulation hammer, 
lead, you can get for $4.50 and the iron 
at $3.25. The 16-pound shot, lead, will 
cost $2.50, and the iron, $1.75. The 56- 
pound weight, lead, will cost $10.00. 
While on this subject I would advise any 
weight thrower who wants to become 
expert to carry his own weights and 
particularly his own hammer. He can 
then arrange to have the grip made to 
suit himself, and when necessary to 
cover it with leather, and he will not be 
called upon when he goes to a competi- 
tion to take the ordinary hammer with 
a handle wnth which he is not familiar. 
Athletes should make it a point to have two suits of athletic 
apparel, one for competition and one for practice purposes. The 
clothing that some of our crack athletes wear in competition is 
a disgrace to athletics, and it adds a 
great deal to an athlete's appearance 
to appear neat and clean when taking 
part in athletic competition. In prac- 
tice within one's club or grounds al- 
most any kind of clothing can be 
used. A sprinter should have two 
pairs of running shoes, one a very 
heavy pair for practicing in (the 
cross country shoe, No. 14C, makes 
a very good shoe for this purpose,- 
and can be had with or without 
spikes on heels), and a light pair for 
racing. One of the best professional 
sprinters that ever wore a shoe made it a point to train for all 
his races in very heavy sprinting shoes. Aside from the benefit 




Running Pants. 



that is claimed for practicing in heavy shoes, you always feel 
as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for any 
race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to 
buy athletic implements or clothing that are cheap. They don't 
wear and cannot give you the service that you will get from 
articles that are official and made by a reputable house. 

Athletes and athletic club officials would do well to procure a 
copy of the Athletic Primer (No. 87) of Spalding's Athletic Li- 
brary). This book fully covers the construction of athletic grounds 
and tracks, the management of games, formation of new clubs, etc. 
It also contains illustrations and diagrams of what might be 
considered a perfect athletic track. 

In laying out or re-arranging grounds great care should be 
taken to see that the field sports can go on without interference, 
and in the management of a large meeting it is very essential 
that more than one 
field sport should go 
on at one time. There- 
fore it should be ar- 
ranged to have the 
running broad jump, 
running high jump, 
and the circle for weight-throwing separated. In order to have 
your plant as perfect as possible, it is necessary that you have all 
the apparatus that is necessary, not only to conduct an athletic 
meet, but to give the different athletes an opportunity to practice 
the various sports. 

There are many things that 
are required. Great care 
should be taken in the arrange- 
ment of the broad jump. The 
toe board is a very important 
article and is generally over- 
looked, and the runway re- 
quires as much attention as 
the track. At the average athletic grounds the jumping path is 
usually neglected. 




Take-off Board. 




Toe Board or Stop Board. 



In the sprint races, wherever pos- 
sible, each contestant should be given 
his own lane. A lane can be made 
of iron stakes driven in the ground 
about eighteen inches apart and 
Lanes for Sprint Races. strung with COrds. 

For the pole vaulters and high jumpers you should procure 
two sets of wooden apparatus — Spalding's complete apparatus 




VAULT! i\l6 STANDARD. 
AND 
POLES. 





No. 109. If the pole jump and high jump go on at the same time, 
an extra lot of cross-bars should be on hand and three or lour 
different poles. 



The regulation 56-povind weight, known as the "Mitchel" 
weight, can be secured for $10.00. 




Regulation 56-Lb. Weight. Regulaeion 16-Lb. Hammer 

For the w^eights you will be required to furnish a i6-lb. Spald- 
ing Championship Bail Bearing Hammer, as originally designed 
by Champion John Flanagan. It is now universally used by 
all the good weight throwers. The ball-bearing swivel hammer 
is in great demand and favored. It does away with the breaking 




and the 12-pound 



of linndk's, and Flanagan claims it can be thrown many 
feet further than the old style hammer. 
Schoolboys invariably use the 12-pound shot 
and the 12-pound hammer. If they desire

The most suitable hurdles on the mar- 
ket are the Foster Patent Safety Hur- 
dles. The frame is 2 feet 6 inches in 
height with a horizontal rod passing 
through it two feet above the ground. 
The hurdle is a wooden gate 2 feet high 
swinging on this rod at a point 6 inches

the other. With the short side up it

measures 2 feet 6 mches from the ground, at 2 ft. 6 in. height. 

and with the long side up 3 feet 6 inches. 

The hurdle can be changed from one 
height to the other in a few seconds, and 
is held firmly in either position by a 
thumb-screw on th: rod. It would be hard 
to conceive any device more simple or 
more easily handled than this. The inven-

for attaining speed will undoubtedly be of immense assistance to 
the great majority of boys who have to rely on printed instruc- 
tions. Many of Mr. Morton's methods of training are novel to 
American athletes, but his success is the best tribute to their 
worth. Illustrated with photographs of Mr. Morton in action,

written in'an instructive wa}', and gives vakiable information, not 
only for the novice, but for the expert as well. It is replete with 
lifelike illustrations of Champion John Flanagan throwing the

By Albert B. Wegener, Physical Director

gymnastics, the necessity of having a mass 
drill that would harmonize with it has been 
felt. For years it has been the established

pitchers can win base ball games ; there- 
fore, every boy and young man who has, of 
course, already learned to catch, should 
turn his attention to this department of the 
game, and there is no better way of becoming proficient than by reading

There are so few men who can cover

points of play at this point of the diamond. Illus*:rated with full page

Wo, 227-How to Play Third Base 

Third base is, in some respects, the most 
important of the infield. No major league 
team has ever won a pennant without a 
great third baseman. Collins of the Boston 
Americans and Leach of Pittsburg are two 
of the greatest third basemen the game 
has ever seen, and their teams owe much 
of the credit foi pennants they have won

No. 232— How to Run the Bases 

The importance of base running as a 
scientific feature of the national game is 
becoming more and more recognized each 
year. Besides being spectacular, feats of 
base stealing nearly always figure in the 
winning of a game. Many a close contest 
is decided on the winning of that little strip 
of 90 feet which lies between cushions. 
When hits are few and the enemy's pitchers 
steady, it becomes Incumbent on the opposing team to get around the 
bases in some manner. Effective stealing not only increases the effective- 
ness of the team by advancing its runners without wasting hits, but it 
serves to materially disconcert the enemy and frequently has caused an 
entire opposing club to temporarily lose its poise and throw away the game. 
This book gives clear and concise directions for excelling as a base runner; 
tells when to run and when not to do so ; how and when to slide ; team 
work on the bases ; in fact, every point of the game is thoroughly ex-
